Texans top offseason spending with $144.5M in guaranteed money

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Houston Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair stood beside his wife Hannah McNair by a stairwell at the Ritz-Carlton during the annual league meetings last week.

It was the day before Cal McNair was approved to become the Texans' new principal owner. Cal stood beside Hannah, the Texans' vice president in the business department, as they took turns answering questions regarding the team's league-high offseason spending spree.

The Texans spent $144.5 million in guaranteed money during free agency in an attempt to give coach DeMeco Ryans what he needs to meet heightened expectations in Year 2.
